“The Invisible String Theory is a concept that suggests that people are connected by an unseen bond that transcends time, distance, and geography. The theory suggests that everyone has a perfect match”

For years, Michael and I were connected by an invisible string. Starting from our years at Clemson, we crossed paths numerous times, yet always seemed to just miss each other. From living in neighboring dorms freshman year and the same complex junior and senior year, it is funny to think how close we were to our future spouse without even knowing.

Through our time at Clemson, we had numerous mutual friends, both studied business and even attended the same wine nights at Michael's house. We were quite literally right next to each other, yet once again did not meet.

After graduation, we both ended up in Atlanta, but it would still be a few years before we finally met. During that time, we both started to lose hope in finding someone who would truly love every part of us.

And then, finally, on December 27th, 2023, we met. Our first date was at the Ponce City Market rooftop where Michael won me a stuffed frog we named Fredrick. We talked and laughed for hours and at the end of the night had a pretty good feeling about things.

From our first date to now, we have spent almost every waking moment together. It was early on that we knew each other was the one. In such a short time, we grew to become best friends and fall more and more in love each day. Whoever said “when you know, you know” sure was right.

On October 18th 2024, Michael got down on one knee in the same place we first said “I love you”. Now we look forward to celebrating our love with all our friends and family and pray for continued years of love, joy, laughter, and peace together.
